High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
HIIT has become a very popular fat burning method. HIIT uses intervals of time and assigns them a personal intensity level. Normally you?ll ?max out? and then recover during the next interval. HIIT is great for breaking personal records and gives you a personal challenge during every workout. Not only that, research suggests that HIIT causes the body to burn more energy for a longer period of time AFTER the workout is complete (fat burning while doing nothing!).
This type of workout can be intimidating and if done incorrectly it could be exhausting. Whenever performing HIIT, it should ALWAYS be based on your personal intensity index. It is important to understand how hard YOU can work.
